Riddick Bowe

A graduate from a reputable college would certainly know how to convey sarcasm in a way that was detectable to some extent, especially after linking it to a personal experience that he seemed rather enthusiastic about.

 

Not as hilarious as what Lennox did to the Golota who has just beat Bowe into retirement

 

Crippet, that is the best post I have ever seen on ESB:good

 

Its nice that you agree with me that Bowe shoudl hang em' up, however we don't agree on a few things here.

Bowe is too far gone to train anyone.

He's not very popular like Tyson was. No one will pay to see him.

A reality TV show with Bowe in it? You almost need subtiltes to understand Bowe.

Bowe like 97% of the other fighters is not going to write a biography, though somone can take some general thoughts from him, and write it for him.

Having said all that, I do think Bowe is a head to head top 15 talent, and I rate him over some popular guys like Frazier, Patterson, and Walcott. The Bowe who first fought Holyfield would be a threat to any heavyweight who ever lived.

 

While the low bows were bad, Riddick did some acting. Those foam cups offer good protection. I do think the fanman bailed Holyfield out and made it two 6 roudn fights with a 17 min break. This allowed an often gassed Holyfield, to get a 2nd and 3rd wind.

 

No he's not okay, he's punchdrunk.

 

Yup.

You can see Bowe raising his head off the canvas watching the ref to see if the DQ was going to go through.

 

In all fairness to SuzieQ, whatever Bowe is like now and what he plans to do, it's very cool that he met him and can train in the same gym.
I'm envious...

 

I'm glad you've met and get along so well with Bowe, SuzieQ.
He was a very good 'big man', with a legendary trainer. He's also, to his friends at least, had a very genial and generous reputation. He was on top of the heavyweight world at one point and had had a varied and memorable career.

But he is no ATG, and has only himself to blame.
He has no business fighting any more, and I dearly wish for him to retire right now while he still has the brain cells left to talk to you about his past fights.

 

totally agree with this.

santa is way too inactive. performing once a year is not enough.

 

If you look up "Donald vs Bowe" in the dictionary, you'll be redirected to "*******". Bowe took a horrific beating from the Pole, but he had it coming, all of it.

 

Yeah, that's the truth. The way Bowe sucker punched Donald at their press conference was shameful. Bowe could be a classless jerk at times as well.

 

I remember as clear as day, Bowe taking a shot at Donald during the pre-fight press conference. He was indeed being a bit of a **** there. He also looked rather foolish by constantly trying to emulate Muhammad Ali with childish rhymes and limmericks that didn't seem to work for him. His manager Rock Newman was the ultimate specimen of an *******. He started many fiascos in the ring with other managers and trainers, and even started a fight with Ray Mercer's manager at ringside during some other match in which both were present. I also suspect that publicy disgarding the WBC title into a trash resepticle was another one of Newman's bright ideas, a move that did his fighter no service. Bowe and Newman were quite a pair during the 90's, and the public's disdain for both men was well earned...
